A new classic

Forget the Submariner... The only "diver" watch that matters! It's a piece of junk, but always makes me smile.

Invicta have always been a mixed bag when it comes to marketing versus reality. But really, what did you expect for $50 ?

commented on Cartier Tank Must - Too Small? ·

The trouble with a smaller watch is that a stiff strap will cause it to feel wrong for a while. Give the strap some time to conform to your wrist properly. It'll feel better soon.

Sure it's dumb, but it's harmless fun, too. Do I like it? Yes! Would I buy one? Absolutely not!

commented on Could we please all just admit Brand Name matters more than we think. ·

Not sure what you're arguing against actually exists. Of course brand is important, and everyone I know acknowledges that, too.

The 3 main drivers of watch value are brand, rarity and condition. The only other driver"heritage", is essentially interchangable with "marketing", which is (yet again) a subset of brand.

Sorry to hear about this. Definitely get your money back if you can. If they didn't market it as ex-display, you may have a case against them.

Controversial opinion on this one though. GS with their pristine finishing means that they show up scratches really badly. Just another reason why I stay clear of them.

My 25 year old speedy reduced runs at +3 minutes per day. It's not magnetised. Is it ok for older watches to be this inaccurate?
